Yeah I have to agree too. The new lighting itself looks great, and being to get all these new effects working in Build Engine is fantastic. However, it basically creates another different style on top of the original, and I don't think they mix as it creates a lot of inconsistencies. Just being able to see Duke3D blended with GTA1 is great enough I think :).

The new effects are interesting, though perhaps only in terms of experimentation.

Question: In the current public build the hit detections doesn't seem inaccurate in where it hits, but it seems quite delayed, making it difficult to hit the enemy correctly to block the enemy's hit. Will this problem be resolved with this new hit detection or is this current problem just a latency issue?

I like the stickies - they look funny! I tend to lean towards favouring realism but the reason why I like this mod is because it's a good balance between fun/hilarity and brutal realism!

Looks interesting. One day I'll update RO and download this and give it a go.

Mentioning the ultra realism is a good point because that's what reminded me of why I didn't get into RO. The close quarter maps were fun, but the large open ones weren't so much. I think with a proper team who would stay and work together would fix that though.

I was listening to the track by John Imbler. I understand that it's meant to be background music, so it shouldn't be too distracting, but have you thought of using some Dubstep [ Youtube.com ] influence in there? It sounds similar to the bass beat in your track, but catchier and with more tone and rhythm.

Dubstep is a pretty good electronic style for games actually, as the bass is less intrusive (though still powerful) than the sound of hard-hitting drums. It can also sound pretty dark - which might just suit your mod perfectly :)
